Blizzard Collectible Pins - Series 3

We're ba-ack! After a bit of a hiatus due to us having a baby, we're finally doing reviews again! And, yes, we had a baby - a daughter! :D

Today, we unveil something new. We're going to start doing super short video reviews from time to time. They'll be a minute or less in length, which will be great since we know how busy everyone is.

Our first minute-or-less review is for a Blizzard Collectible Pin. Check it out!


So, what do you think? Is this new, super short format something you'd like to see more often? Let us know in the comments.

As always, thanks for reading and watching, and see you all again soon!

Geektropolis Star Wars Day Twitter Contest Prize Pack

Hey, everyone! Mike here and I'm going solo today to bring you all something a little different. Back in May, I entered the Geektropolis Star Wars Day Contest on Twitter and ended up being one of the winners! The prize? A Star Wars button pack! Fast-forward a little and I recently received an envelope with the following inside:


Geektropolis Business Card

Who knew something as simple as a business card could be exciting? Geektropolis' one has a freakin' fire-breathing dragon with a frog hanging from its mouth on it. How cool is that? What a great design!

Geektropolis Logo Button

Admittedly, this is the only button in the "Button Pack" and it is pretty sweet. I've always been impressed with the Geektropolis logo and it looks amazing on a button.

R2-D2 Pin

The first of 2 Star Wars pins is of R2-D2. It's made of metal and plastic with a rubber pin back. Outside of the geekily phenomenal design, the pin itself is sturdy and well made. I'm definitely going to have to find something to put this pin on!

BB-8 Pin

This pin helps to round out the pack as R2-D2 was something old and BB-8 is something new. I like that! The pins go together as a pretty sweet pair that should be worn together. The only thing missing? A C-3PO pin.

Overview

Look, make no mistake - This button pack is something won in a contest and I am very, very happy about it. But, I've seen bad prizes before, so it feels great to win something awesome. Props to Geektropolis for putting some thought into a Star Wars Day Contest prize.

Now, before I conclude this post, I want to mention that I also uploaded a video review of this button pack onto Youtube. You can watch it here:


And, that's it for now. Many thanks to Geektropolis for the amazing prize. And, thank you all for reading this entry. More is coming soon, so stay tuned!

Fidget Spinner

Hey, peeps! Mike here, and what kind of review blog would we be if we didn't cover some of the latest crazes every now and then? LOL If you've been anywhere near kids lately, the term "Fidget Spinner" most likely popped up more than once. Well, Jess and I are here to fill you in on what that's all about! That's right! We're in the know and we're going to toss some knowledge at ya... Okay, I'll stop trying to sound cool and just give you the video now...


You know, I am amazed at how something so simple could become such a huge fad. This honestly reminds me of my Pog days. Yes, I said Pog. Do you remember Pogs? I remember Pogs.

ANYWAY, I hope you enjoyed the video. I'm actually gearing up to do some actual written reviews in the near future, so stay tuned for some Vintage In Box coming soon! ;)

We hope you enjoyed that. More is coming very soon to In Box, so stay tuned!

Funko Pop! Figure - Hot Topic Exclusive Dean Winchester from Supernatural

Jess and I are huge fans of the show "Supernatural". We've been following the monster hunting exploits of the Winchesters Brothers since Day 1 and we're probably not going to stop watching until the show is finally done. So, when Funko started making Pop! figures of characters from "Supernatural", you bet we were all over them! The latest addition to the lineup, surprisingly, isn't a new character. Instead, Funko decided to make a Hot Topic Exclusive version of Dean. What do we think of this figure? Watch our video to find out!


I hope you enjoyed the crazy opening and the review afterwards. If you would like to see more fun opening sequences in our videos, please let us know in the comments.

And, that's all for now. Thank you for reading and watching. Stay tuned for more In Box coming soon!

Marvel Tsum Tsum - Series 1

Have you seen those cute, 4-legged plush versions of Disney characters they're selling at the Disney Store? You know, the ones that come in different sizes so you can stack them all over your house? Well, they now have hard plastic versions that come in blind packs! Plus, these versions come with display stands! I picked up a couple of Marvel packs over at Toys R Us and made a review video so you can all share in the awesomeness. Check it out!


I hope you enjoyed that. More is coming, so stay tuned!
